"He is not human. He is made of iron."

So little dialogue, but boy do they make it count.

You know the driving scene, backed by "No Easy Way Out"?

That's Robert Tepper! I played in a band with his sons from his first marriage! (I'm going to see Randy Fucking Johnson strike out Royals indiscriminately with one of them tomorrow, as a matter of fact) I have slept on his floor many times! He is a great man!

Robert Tepper has stories that will kick your fucking ass! He has partied with David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen! Very hard! Among other events!

I played "Beast of Burden" at a wedding in Montana with Robert Tepper! It was fucking awesome! Robert Tepper has a set of pipes! The wedding band didn't know what hit them! Their mouths hung open! Literally hung open!

Robert Tepper was like a football dad when his sons played Spaceland in Los Angeles! He tore the soundman a new one in the middle of the set! I was crippled with laughter! The soundman left the board, hanging his head in shame! Sorry, soundman, but Robert Tepper knows best! It did sound better with Robert Tepper turning the knobs!

I owe a great debt to Robert Tepper! He made my life better! Seriously! I need to call him and see how he's doing! Probably awesome!

My favorite line is when Damone says to Jennifer Jason Leigh (in the next room), "This is great tea," before even lifting the glass from the table.

My favorite movie, period.

A perfect film.

The first DVD I ever purchased. No film I have seen more thoroughly captures my adolescence, the cusp of the 1970's/80's. Parts of Over the Edge and Dazed and Confused ring true, but Fast Times covers the whole shebang--except for punk rock.

Whoever cast this film must have become a very successful casting person, if s/he decided to follow that career path.
